Penn State adds 3-star 2026 prospect from high school led by former Nittany Lion…
Penn State has added another highly touted recruit to its 2026 class, securing a commitment from three-star prospect Jaden Moyer, a standout from Pennsylvania’s high school football ranks. Moyer, a versatile athlete who excels at wide receiver and defensive back, is being recruited by the Nittany Lions as a defensive back. His commitment marks a significant step for Penn State as it continues to build on its strong recruiting efforts under head coach James Franklin.
Moyer’s high school program is notably led by a former Nittany Lion, offering an additional layer of familiarity and appeal for the young recruit. His coach, former Penn State defensive back Chris Gaiter, has played a pivotal role in Moyer’s development, helping him refine his skills and gain national attention. Gaiter, who played for the Nittany Lions in the early 2000s, is known for his expertise in defensive back play, which has undoubtedly helped Moyer gain the skills needed to excel at the next level.
The addition of Moyer to the 2026 recruiting class is a big win for Penn State, which continues to strengthen its defensive backfield. Moyer’s athleticism, coupled with his impressive high school career, makes him an exciting prospect for the Nittany Lions. His commitment also serves as a testament to the program’s ongoing efforts to bring in top-tier talent and further bolster its defensive unit for years to come.
